We took it all the way to the wall for this unforgettable at Mitzvah at Beverly Hills Hotel – transforming the iconic Rodeo ballroom into a full-blown Dodger Stadium experience for this unforgettable mitzvah celebration. From the moment guests arrived for cocktail hour, they were immersed in the theme: signature mocktails and cocktails, tray-passed bites with a playful ballpark twist, and a turfed escort wall featuring calligraphed baseballs as seating assignments. Guests even had the chance to meet former Dodgers MLB legend, Steve Garvey, who signed baseballs and mingled during cocktail hour.

Once the reception doors opened and guests found their seats, the energy hit a whole new level –  the birthday himself took center field to throw out the ceremonial “first pitch” of the night to 10-time Hall of Famer, Steve Garvey, officially kicking off the celebration. Inside, the ballroom had been fully transformed into a reimagined Dodger Stadium: a completely turfed floor, a custom baseball diamond dance floor, and three distinct tablescapes that gave the classic baseball theme a modern, fashion-forward edge. Highlights included a Dugout-inspired kids’ buffet, a locker room-style candy bar, a custom embroidery station for Dodger caps, a batting cage DJ booth, and a cake modeled after the Dodgers’ Commissioner’s Trophy. Even the stage backdrop played its part with a chain-link fence embedded with baseballs and an oversized version of the host’s jersey number proudly on display.
